Song Description

an ex girlfriend, named Angelina (title 'angels linger' sounds like 'Angelina') pretty much put on a good show for the time i knew her...lied, told me what i wanted to hear... broke up with me.... but the thought of her still lingers....the song ponders why she did what she did and if she thinks of me....

Lyrics

Sometimes i cant believe i've played your game
Thought I've lost but i know I've won
You put on your pretty face
Got from me whatever you wanted

Rivers run deep and so do my feelings
Your heart is like a shallow pond
You made promises you just couldnt keep
In your mind you've done nothing wrong

When you lay your head down to sleep
Do you ever think about me?
If life is all about givin and takin
Why was I dreamin while my heart was breakin

Sometime down the road
It's gonna happen and I want you to know that
You'll turn the corner, our eyes will meet
A cold stare is all you'll see

Angels linger in my dreams
You're the one that i always see
Halfway between heaven and hell
I learned a lesson i knew too well

Now that you have departed
My life has finally started
Maybe someday i'll look your way
And thank you for the games you played
